Profile Picture
Hi, I'm Cindy

she/her/hers

I'm an interdisciplinary designer pursuing a Cognitive Science B.S. at UC Davis (c/o 2021). I currently serve as President of Out in STEM at UC Davis, and I’m interested in all things design and tech. My interests lie in using my knowledge to research and design better experiences for human interaction.

I believe that experiences are what makes us human and that life's too short for poorly designed ones. Technology's growing reach into the daily life of society inspires me to create meaningful digital experiences for everyone.
